G01N HOLDER.

Application filed April 27, 1921.

To all whom t may concern Be it known that I. ANDREW D. FULLER, acitizen of the `United States. and a resident of- Wakefield.y county oflvliddlesex.` and State of Massachusetts, have invented an Improvementin a Coin Holder, of which the following description, in connection withthe accompanying drawings, is a specification, like characters on thedrawings representirlo; like parts.

My invention relates to holders for tokens.`

coins and similar articles, hereinafter nerically referred to as coins.f

My invention will be best understood from the following description whenread in light of the accompanying drawings of a specific embodiment ofmy invention selected for illustrative purposes7 while the scope of myinvention will be particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings Fig. 1 shows a plan view of the submitted embodiment ofmy invention; and

Figs. 2 and 3 are respectively sections 011 the lines 2-2 and 3-3 ofFig. 1.

Referringto the drawings:-

I have shown a member 1. which may be of cardboard or other materialstamped or otherwise formed to provide the radially extending; members3, so constructed as to form between them pockets for receiving` andholding in spaced relation to each other the coins A. Each pocket soformed has the parallel side walls 5 andthe semi-circular inner wall 7j,these walls preferably being spaced to form a pocket slightly largerthan the coin.A Constituting a bottom for the pocket provide a disk 9 ofcardboard or other suitable material and for rendering visible the coinsand retaining them in the pockets l provide a transparent cover in theform of a disk 11 of Celluloid or other transparent material. Themember 1. the bottom disk 9 and the cover 11 l may glue or cementtogether or otherwise retain them in fixed relation to each other. so asto form a substantially integral structure.

Surrounding lthe edges of the coin carrier above described is a rimrelatively rotatable to the carrier and comprising rings 13.y 15 and 17of cardboard or other material glued or cemented together. The middlering 15 is of a thickness substantially that of the member 1 andsubstantially iits the periphery thereof, while the rings -13 and 1:7vre Serial No. 464,856.

spectively are of substantially the same thickness of the disks 11 and 9and fit the outer peripheries of the l have shown the member 1 ofsmaller exterior diameter than the bottom and cover disks and it will benoted by this construction that the coin carrying-member while rotatablerelatively to the rim is securely held in position to bepermanently.surrounded by the latter.

Besides the casing afforded by the cardboard rim l may further provide abottom casing' member 18 secured to the rim by an encasing` metallic rim19, the latter having a portion 21. rolled over the edge of the member18 and a portion 23 rolled over the edge of the transparent cover. Themember 18 preferably constitutes a metallic mirror but may be of othermaterial to provide a surface for advertising matter. rlhe portion 23 ofthe rim., which may be of suflicient width to provide a surface on whichmay be printed or stamped advertising` matter preferably terminates insuch posit-ion as not to cover over the edges of the coins and therebyto permit the entire portion of the latter to be exposed to view.

I `further provide a `washerv27` resting on the transparent cover andextending` through the washer, thecoin carrier and bottom plate Iprovide a rivet or piny 29, the latter being freely rotatable relativelyto the coin carrier. For preventing-removal of the rivet for holding`the parts in enlsagement l provide the former with the headsl and 33. n

The metallic rim 19 and the ring` 15 of the cardboard rim are cut awayto form a slot 35 to permit insertion of the coins into the coinpockets. It will be observed by my construction that by holding theassembled device in the hand, the coin carrier may be turned relativelyto the casing'by pushing the former around Aby means of the thumbresting upon the transparent cover.

I n order that the device may serve to indicate money saved or spent. atthe bottom surface of the pockets I print the days of the week or otherperiods of the calendar. When. the coin is inserted it covers up thesurface so as to hide the characters printed thereon and when removeddiscloses the characters. lf, for example, the device is filled withcoins at the beginning` of the week. at the end of the Week the devicewill indicate the days on which coins have been spent ornot having;

been spent, have been saved.. On the surface of the member 1 adjacentthe pockets I mark like characters for indicating to the s Although Ihave described one specific' embodiment of my invention for purposes ofillustration it will be understood that I am not limited thereby to thespecific mechanical details or materials and that Wide deviations can bemade therefrom Without departing from the spirit vof my invention.

Claims:
